thing #21 -- Online Video

The task today is to find a video worth sharing...I'm off to find one, be back later--probably much later...OK here's a cute one called "I Love the Library." This was created by McKracken County Public Library, Padukah, Kentucky.

(I tried to upload the whole thing but it didn't work.)

I'm a bit leery of just browsing around in You Tube, (although Wierd Al Yankovich's EBay song is pretty funny.) Still, to find one to paste in my blog, I typed in a 'books' and 'libraries' search. This brought me to quite a few library and reading promotional videos. What a great way to promote the library --perhaps kdl could produce a creative promotional video--why not?! I think using online video technology for things like this is fun. Even teen library groups could produce something cool. I'm all for using technology for helpful and educational and, yes, even fun things. Perhaps libraries can help be a positive presence on the web.
